How to weave a perfect sphere with curved strips

Mark Pauly, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux, Francis Julian Panetta

Triaxial weaving, a craft technique that enables the generation of surfaces with tri-directional arrays of initially straight elastic strips, has long been loved by basket makers and artists seeking a combination of practical and aesthetically-pleasing str ...

Characterization of the traces on the boundary of functions in magnetic Sobolev spaces

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We characterize the trace of magnetic Sobolev spaces defined in a half-space or in a smooth bounded domain in which the magnetic field Ais differentiable and its exterior derivative corresponding to the magnetic field dAis bounded. In particular, we prove ...

A reduced basis approach to large-scale pseudospectra computation

Petar Sirkovic

For studying spectral properties of a nonnormal matrix A is an element of Cnxn, information about its spectrum sigma(A) alone is usually not enough. Effects of perturbations on sigma(A) can be studied by computing epsilon-pseudospectra, i.e. the level sets ...

Scattering of SH-waves by an elliptic cavity/crack beneath the interface between functionally graded and homogeneous half-spaces via multipole expansion method

Alireza Ghafarollahi

In this study, based on multipole expansion method an analytical treatment is presented for the anti-plane scattering of SH-waves by an arbitrarily oriented elliptic cavity/crack which is embedded near the interface between exponentially graded and homogen ...

Wideband H-plane dielectric horn antenna

Juan Ramon Mosig, Lei Wang, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Marcos Alvarez Folgueiras

By flaring a dielectric waveguide in the H-plane, an H-plane dielectric horn is formed, which could be directly excited by an SIW feed. However, matching and radiation performances are poor due to the thinness of the substrate. To improve these performance ...

Wideband Omnidirectional Planar Antenna with Vertical Polarization

Juan Ramon Mosig, Lei Wang

In this paper we propose a circular leaky wave-antenna with omnidirectional radiation in the H-plane. The design utilizes double-layered strips to create an end-fire antenna. A linear tapering of the stripes in the design endows the antenna with a 27% impe ...

The Sommerfeld half-space problem revisited: from radio frequencies and Zenneck waves to visible light and Fano modes

Juan Ramon Mosig, Krzysztof Michalski

The classical Sommerfeld half-space problem is revisited, with generalizations to multilayer and plasmonic media and focus on the surface field computation. A new ab initio solution is presented for an arbitrarily oriented Hertzian dipole radiating in the ...

SHAPE: Linear-Time Camera Pose Estimation With Quadratic Error-Decay

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Alireza Ghasemi

We propose a novel camera pose estimation or perspective-n-point (PnP) algorithm, based on the idea of consistency regions and half-space intersections. Our algorithm has linear time-complexity and a squared reconstruction error that decreases at least qua ...

Array-Fed Partially Reflective Surface Antenna With Independent Scanning and Beamwidth Dynamic Control

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Tomislav Debogovic

In this communication we present a concept of a partially reflective surface (PRS) antenna capable of independent beam-scanning and beamwidth dynamic control. The beamwidth is controlled by reconfiguring the PRS reflectivity via embedded varactor diodes, w ...

Dual-Polarized Partially Reflective Surface Antenna With MEMS-Based Beamwidth Reconfiguration

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Tomislav Debogovic

A partially reflective surface (PRS) antenna design enabling 1-bit dynamic beamwidth control is presented. The antenna operates at X-band and is based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The reconfigurable PRS unit cell monolithically inte ...

Closing Large Hyperbolic 2g-gons : a Way to Study Hyperelliptic Riemann Surfaces of Genus g

Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...

Stabilization of the cart-pendulum system through approximate manifold decomposition

Dominique Bonvin, Philippe Müllhaupt, David Ingram

This paper proposes a feedback law capable of swinging up and stabilizing the cartpendulum system. The approach uses an iterative algorithm that is typically used to construct a locally linearizing output for nonlinear control-affine systems. However, rath ...

Second harmonic generating (SHG) Nanoprobes: A new tool for biomedical imaging

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Ye Pu

Cornea functions as an outermost lens and plays an important role in vision. For cornea diagnosis and treatment, a microscopic imaging system with cellular resolution and high eye safety is strongly desired. Recently, the cell morphology of corneal epithel ...

Resolving the wave vector in negative refractive index media

Olivier Martin

We address the general issue of resolving the wave vector in complex electromagnetic media including negative refractive media. This requires us to make a physical choice of the sign of a square root imposed merely by conditions of causality. By considerin ...
